Château Haut-Brion
The château is the fourth most decorated wine in Bordeaux. In addition, the wine is the most searched for wine on the platform wine-searcher.com. This once again highlights the château’s track record and classification as a Premier Grand Cru.
Natural drainage
A stone’s throw from the city of Bordeaux lies the 51-hectare vineyard of Château Haut-Brion. The soil consists of generous layers of gravel on top of layers of clay and sand. The sand contains many types of minerals and quartz. This combined with the slightly hilly terrain gives the vineyard a natural system for draining excess water.
Unique drinking window
The “Grand Vin” of Château Haut-Brion is not comparable to other wines from Bordeaux. With earthy aromatics like tar, leather, smoke, truffle, black currants and spices, the Haut-Brion is never too heavy or out of balance. The wine has a unique drinking window, as both a young vintage as well as a 100 year old Haut-Brion guarantee an unprecedented taste experience.
Prince of Luxembourg
The estate is currently run by the Domaine Clarence Dillon company, named after the New York investor who purchased the property in 1935. At the helm of the family business is Prince Robert of Luxembourg, great-grandson of Clarence Dillon. In 2018, the family business became part of Primum Familiae Vini, an international association of twelve of the world’s best wine families.
